Fix-It & Forget-It Kids’ Cookbook: Win it!

As a newbie to slow-cooking, I’ve found myself stuck in a chicken stew-beef stew-chili rut. So when the opportunity arose to review a book of kid-friendly slow-cooker recipes I jumped at it.

The latest in Phyllis Pellman Good’s uber-popular series, the Fix-It and Forget-It Kids’ Cookbook is actually written for the junior chefs in the house. The intro pages include an overview of the slow cooker, tips on how to measure ingredients and follow recipes, and a glossary of everyday cooking equipment.

The 50 recipes – each accompanied by a full-page color photo – range from tried-and-true favorites like Mac & Cheese to new ideas like Broccoli Corn Bread.

We tried a few recipes in our own little test kitchen and found them easy to follow and tasty to boot! The biggest hits were the Yummy Italian Meatloaf (my husband had two helpings) and of course the Gooey Chocolate Pudding Cake (we all had two helpings). The one thing missing, for me, was the nutritional info, because I usually like to take a look at that when I’m planning our meals. Then again, when you’re digging into a dish of Gooey Chocolate Pudding Cake calories aren’t really a consideration!

If you have an aspiring chef in the family, or are just looking for some easy kid-friendly recipes, here’s your chance to win a copy of Phyllis Pellman Good’s Fix-It and Forget-It Kids’ Cookbook!

Just leave a comment here to be entered! We’ll announce the winner on Friday!

I would LOVE this book. I’ve been trying to use my crock pot more since I’m pregnant and SUPER tired, but my husband dislikes chili or anything with beans so that’s about 50% of my recipes, lol. I never heard of meatloaf in a crock pot. That is something I’ll have to try.

I am a cookbook FANATIC!!!! I love to cook, and to share recipe’s. This cookbook would be put to GREAT use in my household.

Katrina

I love using my crockpot. I did have the other Fix it and Forget it cookbook but lost it in a move. I would love the kids one.

Rochelle

It would be great to have some kid friendly recipes to cook in the slow cooker!

karen

This is so awesome! My little chef and I use the slow cooker all the time! I am always looking for kid friendly recipes because my little helper can also a picky eater. This book would be a lot of fun for us, and helpful to keep me from getting in the routine of cooking the same ‘ol meals all the time.

Stephanie

This would be perfect for my family. After work, I pick up my baby & we’re home 5 – 6 pm. It would be awesome to have dinner ready when we got home.

Along with so many other posters, I also use my slow-cooker quite often (especially in the fall and winter) and am at the point of encouraging my kids to help choose and create meals with me, so this book would be perfect!

Can always use recipes for the slow cooker!

Anne

I’m not the best cook so perhaps the kids would learn something that would help.

Billie

starting to cook again and love my crock pot too and love to cook…would love this because my son is autistic and a very picker eater, getting him to try new foods he likes is always hard but having him watch and participate in making dinners/lunch always puts a smile on his face and more inclined to eat it.

Amilee

Love crock pot recipes….and I would love to have this cook book for me,and my LO and any future LOs to use. Crock pots were made for my family!

We LOVE our crockpot. I guess I should say crockpots! This would be perfect for us!

My toddler has always loved her play kitchen, but is now more interested in helping mommy and daddy cook. This would be a great way to get her more involved in our food preparation in a kid-friendly way. What a super giveaway!

Shantique

I have just started bringing my almost 3yo dd into the kitchen, to help with cooking and dishes (I am horrible at these things, so I want her to be able to know SOMETHING when she is older!) so this would be a great way to involve her in the cooking!
